Help me raise money to send kids with cancer to #CampOoch through the #SL10K https://raceroster.com/events/2018/14699/sporting-life-10k-toronto-2018/pledge/participant/3549976

My Story…

My good friend Kelley said to me that 'Doctors cure the cancer but OOCH heals the soul'. This Mother's Day, I'll be running in the Sporting Life 10K to support Camp Ooch, which provides children affected by childhood cancer with what they need most – the chance to be kids. I cannot think of a better Mother's Day gift than to help put a smile on the face of a child battling cancer. Every dollar donated to Camp Ooch means more smiles on childrens' faces while they endure some of their hardest days. It can be just a few dollars to us, but it is priceless to that child and their family. Please consider supporting me with this important cause, as I run for Camp Ooch and kids with cancer.

Description

Help send kids affected by childhood cancer to Camp Ooch!

Camp Oochigeas (Ooch) provides children with and affected by childhood cancer with what they need most – the chance to be kids. Ooch is the only overnight camp in Canada to offer on-site IV chemotherapy and blood transfusions.  Often referred to as the social cure for cancer, we offer programs year-round in Muskoka, at SickKids, and various other cancer centres and cities across Ontario. 

As a registered charity that receives no government funding, Ooch relies exclusively on the generous support of fundraisers, individuals and corporate donors, like you.

Ooch changes the lives of over 1,500 kids affected by childhood cancer every year.  However, 79% of kids with cancer in Ontario still can't go to Camp.  You can help change that!

Cancer changes a child's life.  So does Camp.  And so can you.
